Father our country at the present moment is threatened by an inside force of destruction and is placing our nation in danger of being destroy from within; danger; panic and distress of a fearful character prevails throughout the land; millions of American workers are without employment, and consequently deprived of the means of earning their bread.

Father we pray for unity, do not desert us in this hour of extreme peril, father remember us as you did it with our fathers in the darkest days of the revolution; and preserve our Constitution and our Union, the work of our founding fathers for our generations to come.
Father, we know that your Omnipotent Providence will overrule existing evils for permanent good. Father let us invoke every individual, to feel a personal responsibility to you my Lord and our country for keeping this day holy and pray for the removal of our actual and impending calamities.
